Unbelievable.u/meat_body_soul is one of the kindest hearts you'll come across.
I can believe it. I can also believe that he's extraordinarily talented.
My hope is that he's also very business smart and that he doesn't confuse charity with giving away the crown jewels.
He's worked, you all have worked, very hard (I'm very impressed with the "team" and community as well) and I hope you don't give it all away for free - or even for a fee.
I've heard another dev from a competitor coin saying that they plan to do an algo change to something similar to Myriad and that "they're looking forward to working with the Myriad team".I sure hope that's not true (or simply wishful thinking/hype on their part).
If someone wants to imitate or copy, make them do it on their own!
In the final analysis, I think we'll be able to count the survivors on the fingers of one hand, and it would be much more than a shame to be eliminated from that short list by someone you helped.
This is a DOGE eat DOGE world, and if you want to be able to help others and survive to do it again tomorrow, you have to know who you can help, and who you can't, and, sometimes, you have to say no.
Digibyte and Dvorakcoin will/are using multi-algos as well. I do not think MYR has anything to worry about at this point, as long as the website gets finished by next week and a fresh marketing effort is made in order to promote the upcoming projects. DRK took off after several other coins started using X11
I think you're right, but that's not my point.
I'm saying that MYR shouldn't help them at all.I remember years ago talking to a friend about competition (and the threat of competition) to his business, and I still have his answer clearly engraved in my mind: "I'm the competition", he said. That was so profound and so correct that we stopped the conversation right there. There was no point going further, and one thing you can also be sure of, he would never have shared any of his business secrets either.
Let others come along and give you indirect marketing, but always be sure to make very clear who is #1, and who is an aspiring wannabe (especially when you've got some not too reputable folks on your heels).
